For years I've either carried Cor Bon or Gold Dots for self defense ammo. First in my 92FS now in my Glock 19. Once a year I replace my carry ammo. I usually do it in the spring of the year but was a bit lazy this year.
This year I went with Underwood 124 Gr GD +p. For the past year I have tried different weights and such I decided on these.
So I'm at the range this afternoon. First I shot a box of Underwood. Then a box of American Eagle (which were quite accurate).
Now I start shooting of my Cor Bon carry ammo. It's 115 Gr +p stuff. The first magazine emptied out quickly with no problem.
About 6 rounds into the second magazine a round failed to feed! I tipped the barrel up some and notice the round jammed against the feed ramp. I yanked the magazine out and the round came out still in the magazine. I pulled that round out and reinserted the magazine and resumed firing. That magazine finished out without another problem.
Half way through the third magazine the same thing happened! Wow.
Just reinforces the need to always carry a spare magazine our two. Also the need to shoot some carry ammo throughout the year. Anybody have this happen to them?
